Anybody know anything else? The components look cool.

From what little information is up on the FFG website about it, it won't be co-op entirely. Players playing the investigators will have to work together, but there will be a player as the guy playing the cultists and creatures, setting up the mansion, etc.

It looks like the mansions will be made up of various map boards, which looks to give the game a bit of a Descent feel. I only hope that Mansions of Madness doesn't take 3-4 hours to play like Descent. I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this one.
